Mercedes E63 AMG W211 | Everything You Need To Know (4K)

In this video review, I go over the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG W211 which was available for 2007-2009 in North America. I briefly cover the m156 engine, the performance, features, options, reliability, and prices of the E63 AMG. I also compare it to the E55 AMG in this buyer's guide, looking at m113k vs m156.

AMGs from the 2000s were so darn pleasing to the eye.

[@kingartison]

A few still are but the keyword is few

[@tylercouture216]

They look so damn good

[@DReeves87]

just bought a 07' E63, black in great condition with ALL the options. 100k miles. So far loving it!

[@ObeyCapone]

Any known problems ? Plan on buying a same one with same miles

[@yessrodd]

hey how is it going so far? any issues? would love to know. thank yiu

[@andreibucur9255]

I'm glad you did a review on the W211 E63. Hopefully you will continue reviewing AMG's from 2008 to 2014 because I think these are the best AMG's ever built.

[@Alan-hw3jg]

Spot on. That was AMG in its prime

[@Alan-hw3jg]

@Jonas Jonaitis AMG stopped building the M156 after the 2014 C63, so i’m not sure what you’re talking about

[@MacksLaten]

W211 Chassis is the most beautiful Mercedes. cant argue with that

[@Fall-off-currencies]

100% agreed!

[@redriver15262]

i want one sooooo bad 😩😩 the Facelift W211's, specially the 09's were absolutely PERFECT! such a classic stylish, understated model 😻

Finally a well balanced video on E63. E55 fanboys will not be happy 😂

[@HarryFromTheNorthSide]

The 55 is supercharged and can get more power with the smallest mods to the supercharged set up.it makes more sense to pick a e55 over a e63.

[@foxtrotwhiskey874]

@@HarryFromTheNorthSide your name took me by surprise a little, my best friend has the same name but he does not know any thing about cars , he very well versed in girls 😹😹

[@HarryFromTheNorthSide]

@@foxtrotwhiskey874 ps I am a e55 fan boy. One of my favorite cars . As a mechanic I know it's full potential.that car can make more power for less money than the e63 because the 63 has a naturally aspirated engine.any engine with a forced induction system (supercharger/turbo) can be modded or tuned easy for more power without having to add any bolt on mods to it.thats the beauty in owning a e55 amg or any boosted car.the 63 Is a monster but it's power upgrades are limited due to it being naturally aspirated

[@foxtrotwhiskey874]

@@HarryFromTheNorthSide you know what you are talking about and thats great. i got turned off by cultish attitude of e55 fanboys and i i got a E63 instead knowing the shortcomings of M156 engine. i do not like to mod, i prefer all my cars stock. and you cant go wrong w/ the sound and NA 500hp. for weekend cursing my stock E63 does the job for me.

[@HarryFromTheNorthSide]

@@foxtrotwhiskey874 the 63 is a beast and sounds very nice. But as a mechanic I like to tinker with my cars engines,so the e55 is a better car for my hands on skills.i love both cars, but I prefer the e55 over the 63 due to its potential in upgradable power.

[@shamil808]

This is the very car that made me fall in love with AMG when I was much younger. Aggressive but still classy styling, N/A jewel of a V8, and it's a subtle AMG, relatively speaking... Again, marvelous video.

The sound of the M156 is addicting! 💪

I never say this but this was literally how all car information videos should be, extremely well done thank you for the great vid

[@elm7666]

I have a Grey 2009 with 59,000 miles. P1, P2, and P30 with Distronic and Parktronic. I also installed the triangle in the trunk for euro spec cars, front german license plate, two small electric fans for the coolers, racing diff clutch plates for the posi, and a catch can. Car has no leaks and everything works like new. I just drive it a couple of times a year and it's paid for! I recently replaced all four rotors, e brake shoes, and pads. I have serviced the trans twice at home and installed a green gates serpentine belt with billet idlers. Cams look fine for now but a swap to m159 buckets and new head studs are in the future..

[@deanconley5949]

One of the best reviews I've ever heard. I like how he tells the difference between the metrics and standard US measurements. And he's very detail oriented thank you

[@CylinderHeadE60]

DO NOT HESITATE. I had a 2009 for seven years and it was completely flawless. Absolutely perfect daily driver. Since then I’ve had a 2016 CLS63 and a 2019 E63 and I still remember my W211 incredibly fondly.

[@hummerarabia007]

Very informative video and the information laid out perfectly. As a W211 E63 owner myself , i faced head-bolt issue with my vehicle, those who are interesting in getting one should aways check if the M156 engine has the updated head-bolts or not, without them the engine is basically like a ticking time bomb and its a very labour intensive and expensive job to replace.Happy motoring.

Great video. I have owned my E63 for 2 years 30,000 and I have not regretted it. Though I did recently replace the engine mounts and also resolved a few leaks as stated in the video im still happy with my baby. Mine has all the options for the US market minus the distronic so after seeing that im happy with the specs the original owner chose for me. Keep putting out great content your work has not gone unnoticed. Cheers

Great video! I bought an 08 E63 with 81K. I've put about 13K on it in three years, and I look forward to driving it every day. The sound of the M156 never gets old. I've had no problems with the head bolts. I did have a front airmatic shock fail on me ($1,300 fix) and I replaced the front and rear pads and rotors myself, but besides that just ordinary oil changes every 7,500 or so. Just a fantastic looking car.

I would still get the E55 W211 AMG E class instead. A very little horsepower difference, more torque and significantly more reliable engine compared to the E63. Still, if you find a decent exsample of this generation AMG E class, you won't make a bad choice.

[@A8D92]

Their reliability status is starting to go down hill. Trust me. I bought one in December and have spent more then the value of the car in repairs and only to be told piston rings have gone. Supercharger also blew too. As with any car, try and buy one with good history. Learn from my mistake. I would rather get the E63 to be honest. You will not notice much difference in power. They';re both animals and can take most that attempt to challenge them.

[@ChrissyWorks]

A mean machine, even for base models the maintenance is so much damn money. If you're willing to spend the money its so worth it.

In terms of reliability, which one is more of a headache? It seems with the bushing and the transmission plates, the E63 is more costly. Not to mention the engine of course

So far the most well equiped w211 i have seen was a E400 cdi from 2004, it had distronic, and solar panel on the roof, inside it was so well equiped, like every fucking option But the most well equiped mercedes in general was an bulet proof W221, S600 every fucking thing you can get in the s class was in there

[@marlonbaird6070]

Is the W211 e63 better to own over the e55?

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

My wrenching skills were far less when I 1st got my m272 E coupe a while ago, and I now cry myself to slept night for not shopping for m113k e55's instead. Given how many things I had to go thru on the car, maintenance (aside from the price of suspension parts) would've been possibly less on the e55. My almost $500 rear window regulator makes up for the difference I'm sure. If you're thinking of a 211, don't hesitate and back out like I did before we're all forced into EV's.

[@oxidalpha6350]

this version of the m156 is the same one which comes in the c63 with performance package? or is it the m156 without performance package? has this engine the same parts as the sls like the m156 with performance package?

[@AMGmeister]

No, this E63 engine does not have the SLS parts. The SLS internals were only put in the C63 P31, black series, and 507 edition.

It's a rare occurrence but all model years are impacted on w211 e63. It was addressed in 2011.

[@johnlowe2218]

@@AMGmeister It’s a bit surprising to me that this went on for 4 model years. If I decide to buy one and the owner does not have documentation of head bolt replacement, would you recommend that I just go ahead and replace them? I really don’t want to ruin the M156 motor lol.

Hey , I have a 2005 E 55 and now when i fill it fully it leaks gas to the ground, theres no smell of gas on the inside but on the outside. Does warranty cover this issue?? Thank you

[@AMGmeister]

Never overfill fuel. First click on the pump and that is it. If you are filling correctly then you might be out of luck because the car is more than 15 years old. Still might be worth to try and ask your dealership if they would consider helping you out? The warranty did cover all fuel tank components.
